The fourth son of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, who attended terror-training sessions in Afghanistan with his father, may soon take up residence with his British wife at her English country home, where the two plan to have a child with a surrogate mother and become peace activists, if his recent request for a visa is approved.
Omar Bin Laden, 26, who met Jane Felix-Browne, 52, in September 2006 when the Englishwoman was vacationing in Egypt, has been interviewed by British Embassy officials in Cairo, the London Daily Mail reported.
Felix-Brown, then a grandmother, surprised many last year when she announced she had become daughter-in-law to the mastermind of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, on New York City and Washington, D.C. The pair hid their marriage – the sixth for Felix-Brown and the second (concurrent) marriage for bin Laden – initially.
Last July, when interviewed by the Daily Mail on her way to rejoin her new husband in Egypt, Felix-Brown expressed skepticism over her father-in-law's role in the terror attack.
"I mean, do you know - beyond all doubt – that he did it? If so, I'd like you to show me the evidence. I don't think it's nice to make assumptions about someone when you don't know the facts," she said.
At the time, Felix-Brown – who has since changed her name to Zaina Al Sabah Bin Laden – expressed a desire to eventually settle in Saudi Arabia and said she had no problem with her husband having another wife and child.
"I'd set up another home nearby, and he would come and go between the two," she said. "It is quite normal, really. I don't mind at all – why should I? I'm not jealous of his wife. I have spoken to her. Lots of married men in this country have girlfriends. At least he is being honest."
Unfortunately for bin Laden's first wife, British immigration officials care less about "honesty" than polygamy and are requiring proof bin Laden has obtained a divorce in Saudi Arabia before allowing him to move to Felix-Brown's $1.1 million home in Moulton, Cheshire, in Britain's rural northwest.
"We have been told there will not be a problem as long as we can provide the original documents from his divorce from his first wife. And that should be done in a week," said the second Mrs. bin Laden.
The couple – who met while riding horses near Egypt's pyramids – are planning a 3,000 mile horse ride across North Africa from Cairo to Morocco to defy the terrorists operating in the area and to support "peace."
Although the annual Dakar Rally car and motorcycle race from Lisbon, Portugal, to Senagal was canceled earlier this month after threats of attacks by al-Qaida-affiliated groups, the young bin Laden said the couple would not be deterred from their ride for peace.
"Associates of my father forced the cancellation of the Dakar Rally, but they won't stop me from riding," he said. "We want people to join us on the trek – Jews, Arabs, Christians, Muslims, it doesn't matter where people are from."
That may not be the best idea.
The pair has already been threatened by the wealthy and influential bin Laden family who were reportedly humiliated by the marriage – so much so, Felix-Browne announced their plans to divorce last September.
"We are both in fear of our lives," she told the Sun.
"People are opposed to my marriage because I am British. I wasn't prepared to see the man I love die. That is why we have decided to end our marriage."
She claimed threats were made that her husband would be put in prison on trumped-up charges and he feared his business contacts would be lost as a result of his family's pressure.
"It was a really, really good marriage, a strong marriage. But I cannot stand by and watch my beloved husband die before my very eyes," she said. "I love him enough to let him go. I want him and his son, who is just three, to return to as normal a life as possible.
Bin Laden, who trained at a terrorist camp with his father when he was younger, said he does not know where the al-Qaida leader is and has not spoken with him since the 2001 terror attacks.
Assuming the pair safely complete their peace ride, avoid vengeful relatives and are allowed to settle in the country with a marriage visa, bin Laden will be given "leave to remain in the UK," indefinitely after two years, and eligibility to carry and travel with a UK passport.
"We want peace. We both want peace," she said. "Omar wants to be an ambassador for peace and I'm behind him."
